Chapter Seventy-One: Trouble? Make contributions?
Shen Chen also ordered, and the two sides distanced themselves, although they were still glaring at each other, but finally ended the confrontation that was about to break out.
Fortunately, no one was impulsive or trembling by mistake. Shen Chen retreated, and he also felt a little afraid.
It's so close, it's hard to be spared, and the consequences are very serious! He began to think about whether to wear body armor if he was to 'work together' with the Japanese next time.
Although body armor is a strong cloth attached to the outside of the wire mesh, it can only resist small-caliber pistol bullets, and even box guns may not be able to defend against it, but is it stronger to wear it?
Before Shen Chen could think clearly, Everett had already rushed over, and he was patrolling with two police cars.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Everett breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not a scene full of corpses!
Shen Chen stepped forward to salute and briefly explained what had happened.
Everett nodded, walked towards Kono and Song Jizhi with a gloomy face, and began to negotiate.
The song of this incident is obviously a trick to deceive the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and then act alone.
Although Shen Chen almost caused a bloody conflict, he was not at fault, not only maintaining the face of the concession, but even being conscientious.
"Not allowed, never allowed." Everett listened to Song Jizhi's defense, waved his hand vigorously, and said: "The agreement must be observed, without the permission of the Ministry of Industry, you cannot enter the concession territory with a gun and act without authorization." ”
After a pause, Everett emphasized, "As for you getting the wrong address, it's a mistake on your part, and you are solely responsible." ”
Kono snorted, tilting his head a little arrogantly.
Damn Japanese elves! Everett cursed in his heart, and said with a calm face: "Now please leave the concession, I will send someone to escort you." ”
Escort? Is it like an escort? Kono gritted his teeth, glanced viciously at Shen Chen, who was not far away, and turned around and got into the car.
The operation has been exposed, and for such a long time, people have long since run away.
Kono's depression and anger can be imagined, but Song Jizhi still has the feeling of picking up a life, and he got into the car in a hurry.
Everett ordered a police car to follow and wait for the Japanese to come back after leaving the concession.
The Japanese walked away, and the patrolmen dispersed to do their own work.
Shen Chen closed the team and followed Everett back to the headquarters by car.
"Shen, you're doing a great job." In the office, Everett unabashedly praised Shen Chen, and expressed contempt and resentment towards the Japanese, "Damn the Japanese, do everything possible to reach out to the concession." If you succeed this time, you will have to make inches in the future. This group of Oriental dwarfs will not have a time to be satisfied. ”
"The sir's right." Shen Chen echoed, and reminded: "Do you want to report this matter to the law arrest room?" Let them also be careful of the tricks of the Japanese. ”
Everett thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let the Japanese dwarf not play tricks in the French Concession." ”
Any opportunity to add to the blockage of the Japanese, Shen Chen will never let go. The concession side was on guard, and as long as they followed the whole process, the Japanese would have a lot of hands and feet tied.
"You have to be careful." Everett kindly reminded: "The Japanese are very vindictive. In this way, every day when you commute to work, let the police car pick you up! ”
"Thank you, sir." Shen Chen felt that it was indispensable and troublesome.
Anyway, I usually save on walking and fares by taking the car; When something happens, just explain it and act on your own.
As for worrying and being afraid, if Shen Chen had this idea, he would not capture and kill the Zodiac thugs and wash the New Asia Hotel in blood, and he would not draw a gun against the Japanese today and not retreat.
As for the Ministry of Industry Bureau, as well as Everett's attitude, Shen Chen also has an accurate judgment.
It should be said that Britain, the United States, Germany, and Japan were natural enemies in the world at that time, and in the land of Shanghai, an "isolated island," the bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Industry were more aware of the threat of the Japanese military machine than the congressmen on the other side of the ocean.
Therefore, on the one hand, they had to make some concessions to the Japanese army, which they could not provoke, and on the other hand, they did everything possible to prevent the Japanese from controlling the concession.
The appointment of Akagi as deputy superintendent of the police department is a concession that the Ministry of Industry and Bureau has to make, and the pressure brought by it is also obvious.
It can be expected that the struggle between control and counter-control in the concession patrol will be more complex and intense.
Akagi will inevitably seize police power through various means, such as increasing Japanese patrols, assigning Japanese police officers to be in charge of arrests, controlling other patrols, and cooperating with the Japanese outside the concession to encroach on the power of the concession police.
Therefore, it was the thinking and countermeasures of the Ministry of Industry and Everett to support or promote the anti-Japanese or pro-British and American patrols, and to resist the infiltration and involvement of the Japanese in the concession on the premise of being justified and justified.
Shen Chen's growing ability, conscientious work attitude, and antipathy to the thugs and the Japanese made Everett, who had received instructions from the top of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, very appreciated.
Shen Chen judged the general intention of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, which was not very difficult. But he didn't know that Everett was reporting to the Ministry of Works, and that he was going to be promoted soon.
The day's work passed quickly. After getting off work, Shen Chen called home, and went straight to the high-end tavern that he had made an appointment with Cao Bingsheng in a police car.
Cao Bingsheng came earlier than Shen Chen, showing both politeness and an attitude of importance.
The two sat in the private room, ordered food and wine, and began to talk.
"Dare to draw a gun against the Japanese, Mr. Shen is really brave and courageous. Brother toast you. Cao Bingsheng smiled and raised his glass in respect.
What happened during the day, he already knew that in addition to flattering Shen Chen, he also showed his ability and ability without a trace.
Shen Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face, smiled, and said, "I'm a more practical person, I only know how to do things according to the rules." Whoever violates the agreement, I'm going to stop it. ”
Really? Cao Bingsheng didn't think so, but Shen Chen's performance today made him look a little higher, thinking that his closeness was correct.
"Mr. Shen is too modest." Cao Bingsheng laughed, took a sip of wine, and said seemingly sincerely: "I admire Mr. Shen's ability very much. I have long wanted to make Mr. Shen a friend, but I am afraid that I will not be able to climb high! ”
"Mr. Cao is polite." Shen Chen's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had a lot of room to speak, "If it is said that it is a dry patrol and arrest, Mr. Cao is a senior, and my brother still needs you to give me a lot of advice!" ”
"What a senior, it's just the head of a detective." Cao Bingsheng said modestly, and then said: "Of course, there are some people under the brothers, although they can't get on the table, but they are still relatively well-informed. ”
It is enough to be well-informed.
